Environmental performance of eco‐design strategies applied to the building sector

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 556-572, June 2024.
Abstract The application of eco‐design principles in the building sector is considered a promising way to mitigate its substantial environmental impacts. However, quantitative evidence for this mitigation potential is lacking. The objective of this study was to quantify the environmental performance of diverse eco‐design strategies when applied to the ...

Constitutive expression of apple endo‐POLYGALACTURONASE1 in fruit induces early maturation, alters skin structure and accelerates softening

The Plant Journal, Volume 117, Issue 5, Page 1413-1431, March 2024.
Significance Statement Polygalacturonases (PGs) are enzymes that solubilise and depolymerise homogalacturonan in the plant cell wall. Overexpression of apple endo‐POLYGALACTURONASE1 throughout fruit development had pleiotropic effects, causing early maturation of fruit and seeds, and an altered pectin structure that led to extensive cellular disruption,
